My Grandma has recently had a respite stay at Acacia Lodge and both myself and my family could not be more impressed. The staff have been attentive, the home is clean and welcoming and the food looked amazing. Thank you to all the staff for taking great care of my Grandma, she will definitely be back
for another stay.

The activities coordinator is lovely and organises regular events for the residents to enjoy.

Since my dad has been in Acacia Lodge, he has had a really positive experience. All staff go above and beyond in their varied roles, this is from management to facilities.
Visitors and families are also made to feel part of my dad's care.
The activities that take place are really enjoyable and all
residents are encouraged to engage, which is lovely to see.
I would like to thank each and every member of staff who takes good care of my dad.

Review from Harry W (Cousin of Resident) published on 15 August 2024 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 3.0 out of 5
I feel that the standards have dropped over the years.
The mattresses are worn out, the bedding is just passable.
Every time I visit I find no towels in the ensuite, and the room is not very clean. On one occasion I found no towels, no bulb in the bedside lamp, and the perspex cover missing off the
clock.
On more than a few occasions I have found the bed was not made at 6:30pm, sometimes no bedding in the room.
The kitchen area is not kept as clean as should be, with dirty pots with food on, and the bin full with no lid on, and some food under the tables.
Reply from Collette Gardiner, Home Manager at Acacia Lodge Care Home - Avery Healthcare

Dear Harry, Thank you for your feedback on your recent visit to Acacia Lodge. We apologise for not meeting your expectations and appreciate you bringing these issues to our attention. Replacements for the mattress and bedding have been ordered but are delayed. We will prioritise their replacement upon arrival. We apologise for the cleanliness issues with the room and amenities. We have a number of new housekeepers who have joined the team and are settling into the role. We ensure thorough kitchen clean-up after meal service, but any issues will be addressed immediately. As the manager, I am overseeing these matters personally. I would appreciate the opportunity to meet with you and discuss your concerns. Kind regards, Manager, Acacia Lodge

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I visit my mum at least twice a week, and every visit is a pleasant experience and confirms my belief that all the staff caring for Mum (including other staff and management) have the care of the residents uppermost in their minds. I am comforted by the staff knowing my mum, which is clear to me when
I speak to the carers, senior carers and others (including reception); they find time to get to know the residents. I can't praise them highly enough. I know Mum is cared for and safe in their hands.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother had 30 days to move from her previous home as it was closing. When we came across Acacia Lodge we knew it was where Mum needed to be and wished she was there already. The level of professionalism is outstanding.
Mum had settling in issues but the care and again professionalism of the nurses
have worked out the best approach for Mum’s personal issues. Other than her ‘bad day’ due to the Alzheimer’s Mum has definitely come on in leaps and bounds and is mixing in the common room (never seen at the previous place).
We can’t say thank you enough and for everyone’s hard work, a huge thank you.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My father is 92 and suffering from Dementia. Making the difficult decision to place your loved one in a care home is devastating. From arrival, the assistant manager and all staff have been exceptional, nothing is too much trouble, and you leave knowing your loved one is well cared for.
After only
one week, I already feel like I have a little bit of my dad back.
Thank you, Acacia Lodge, for everything.

First of all walking in you could tell you were entering a first-class place. I was sat with my mam at the main window watching the world go by, by then it was dinner time, all set out and all ready. The staff (all) were brilliant, attentive and engaging and it says a lot that she didn't want to leave,
she loved it that much. Without a doubt, next respite she will be returning if you'll have her! Thanks to all the staff involved, you're all stars. Thank you.

My mother is 82 and suffering from dementia. The care home gives her a safe environment where she has company and activities, and her family can visit whenever they like - now we have come out of Covid restrictions. I feel totally less anxious about my mother now compared to when she was living at home
on her own. The value for money is difficult because everything she owns goes to pay for the home's fees.

Wonderful, high standard of care and compassion for our mum. Her health and well-being have improved immensely, since her discharge from hospital and moving into Acacia Lodge. This was a very worrying time for all the family, but the staff and management have treated our mum with dignity and so much
love! Mum has her down days, being a dementia sufferer, but we can't thank the staff enough for their caring attitude on those days. She is in her happy place with Acacia's regular, fantastic entertainment programme - always the first up for a dance! Her room and bathroom are always very clean and tidy and no issues with laundry. Lovely gardens to enjoy sunny days. Highly recommend Acacia Lodge, one big family!

The administrator/receptionist could not have been more helpful in helping to navigate me through from my initial enquiry to the eventual admittance of my mum. The assistant manager carefully assessed all of her individual needs and left me feeling totally reassured that my mum was in a safe and caring
environment. I have found all of the staff to be responsive and professional. The activities are well planned and executed, especially day trips out. Well done Acacia, keep up the good work.

Current Review Score: 9.1 (9.134)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.1 (9.134) out of 10 for Acacia Lodge Care Home - Avery Healthcare is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 9 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.5 out of 5 from 8 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.667 for Acacia Lodge Care Home - Avery Healthcare is calculated as follows: ( (84 Excellents x 5) + (14 Goods x 4) + (8 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 108 Ratings = 4.667
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 4.467 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Acacia Lodge Care Home - Avery Healthcare is based on 8 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 3.8
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 60 registered maximum number of service users is 12. 8 Positive Reviews ÷ 12 = 0.667
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
